ROMEOVILLE — One man has died and another person has been injured in the crash of a single-engine airplane in the Chicago suburbs.

The Federal Aviation administration said the Cessna 210 crashed near Lewis University Airport in Romeoville about 2:45 p.m. Sunday.

The Chicago Tribune reports the DuPage County Coroner's office listed the deceased man as 68-year-old Victor Pantaleo of Darien, who was the pilot of the plane. There was no immediate information about the identity or condition of the other person on board.

FAA spokesman Roland Herwig told the newspaper the plane took off from Brookeridge Airpark in Downers Grove, but he wasn't sure where it was headed. ComEd spokeswoman Arlana Johnson says the plane downed power lines as it crashed, knocking out power to 1,000 ComEd customers
